Terms of Service

1. Who We Are

Density Partners provides technology-enabled legal services focused on California land use, entitlement, zoning, CEQA, permitting, and development feasibility. Density Partners at densitycre.com is not the unrelated M&A advisory firm at densitypartners.com.

2. No Legal Relationship From Website Use

Use of this website, our contact form, or general communications with us does not create an attorney-client relationship.

A legal relationship arises only after we expressly agree in writing to represent you or your organization, including any required engagement letter, fee arrangement, and conflicts clearance. Until then, you should not treat communications as confidential or privileged, and we owe you no duty of representation.

Do not send time-sensitive, privileged, or highly sensitive project information through the website unless we have directed you to a secure channel under an existing engagement.

3. No Legal Advice on the Website

Website content, examples, summaries, tools, outputs, and communications before engagement are for general informational purposes only. They are not legal advice and are not tailored to your specific facts, jurisdiction, or objectives.

You are solely responsible for evaluating information and obtaining advice from qualified professionals before acting. Laws, regulations, agency practice, and case outcomes change frequently and vary by location and project.

4. Services

Professional services, when offered, are provided under separate written terms that govern scope, fees, deliverables, timelines, confidentiality, and professional responsibilities. Website features may change, be suspended, or be discontinued at any time without notice.

We may decline or terminate any inquiry or engagement at our sole discretion, including for conflicts, capacity, jurisdiction, or fit.

5. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use this website. You represent that information you submit is accurate and that you have authority to submit it on behalf of any organization you identify.

6. Your Submissions

When you submit information through our contact form or email, you grant us a non-exclusive license to use that information to respond, evaluate potential engagement, operate our business, improve our services, and comply with law. You retain ownership of your underlying content, subject to our rights in our methods, workflows, templates, and deliverables.

You represent that your submissions do not violate law or third-party rights and do not include malware, spam, or abusive content. We may filter, reject, or discard submissions that appear fraudulent, abusive, or inconsistent with these Terms.

7. AI-Assisted Tools and Outputs

We use software, automation, and AI-assisted tools in our work and website operations. AI-generated or AI-assisted outputs may be incomplete, outdated, or incorrect. They are probabilistic, not deterministic, and must be independently reviewed by qualified professionals before reliance.

Unless expressly agreed in writing under an engagement, we do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or fitness of AI-assisted outputs for any purpose. You may not use our tools or outputs to misrepresent authorship, evade professional obligations, or automate decisions that require licensed judgment without appropriate human review.

Data handling for AI-assisted workflows is described in our Privacy Policy. We do not use your contact form submissions to train public or generally available AI models without your explicit written consent or a separate agreement.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Access, probe, scrape, or interfere with the website or related systems except through intended interfaces
• Circumvent security, rate limits, anti-abuse controls, or access restrictions
• Use the website for unlawful, deceptive, harassing, or infringing activity
• Attempt to obtain confidential information about other users or projects
• Reverse engineer, copy, or exploit the website except as permitted by law

We may investigate violations and cooperate with law enforcement. You are responsible for activity occurring under your submissions or devices used to access the website.

9. Intellectual Property

The website, branding, design, text, graphics, software, workflows, and other materials provided by us are owned by Density Partners or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. Except for limited personal, non-commercial access to the website, no rights are granted by implication.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, or commercially exploit our materials without our prior written consent.

10. Third-Party Services

Our website may rely on third-party hosting, analytics, email, advertising, and infrastructure providers. We are not responsible for third-party services, sites, or content linked from our website. Your use of third-party services is governed by their terms and policies.

11. Disclaimers

THE WEBSITE AND ALL CONTENT, TOOLS, AND OUTPUTS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, and quiet enjoyment. We do not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers. In those jurisdictions, disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DENSITY PARTNERS AND ITS FOUNDERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, BUSINESS, OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the website or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100) or (b) the amount you paid us for website-related services in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limitations apply regardless of theory of liability and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including certain professional obligations that may arise only under a separate written engagement.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Density Partners and its founders, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the website; (b) your submissions or conduct; (c) your violation of these Terms or applicable law; or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.

14. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law rules that would require application of another jurisdiction's laws.

Except where prohibited by law, you and Density Partners agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the website will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

Nothing in these Terms limits either party's ability to seek injunctive or equitable relief for misuse of intellectual property or unauthorized access.

15. Suspension and Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the website at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including suspected violation of these Terms or risk to our systems or users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time by posting an updated version on this page with a revised “Last updated” date. Material changes become effective when posted unless otherwise stated. Your continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

17. General

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and Density Partners regarding website use and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization or sale of assets.
